The Rapture: See the Video + Win HMS President Album Launch Tix!

So, The Rapture, one of the coolest bands in the world right now, mangling disco with retro rock sleaze chic, have a new album called 'Echoes' out on September 8th. Therefore, we have goodies a-go-go.

The promo single for the album is called 'House Of Jealous Lovers' and we've been given the video to give you folks. It's directed by cult-directors Shynola (Junior Senior, Queens Of The Stone Age) and features an animated homage to the iconography of punk rock and flyer culture...

'House of Jealous Lovers' is out next Monday (25th August) and you can check it out here

Plus, to launch their album they've got a party aboard HMS President, moored on London Embankment, on August 28th. We've got a pair of tickets for you and a friend to go along to this invite-only special affair. We'll pick one reader at random that emails their fullname and a suggestion of a question for the band (who we're interviewing on Thursday) to ilovetherapture@drownedinsound.com

Competition Closes on Tuesday 26th August 2003.
